“Home advantage is great because we’ve not lost there all season, so that’s a positive,” added Smith.

“Winning is a good habit to get in to and it’s helped us this year that we’ve been able to field similar sides on a Saturday and Sunday.

“It is going to be tough against Porthill Park. On paper, we don’t have as much quality as they do, but in cup cricket it only takes a couple of deliveries to go your way and it can make a big difference.”

Porthill Park captain John Hancock is, like Smith, looking to complete a league and cup double.
